Chapter 504: Heavenly Help
The south gate slowly closed, and the Tuoba family looked at the slowly closing city gate and finally gave way to the road, all kinds of signs, coupled with Zhou Yuanli's fearless appearance, made him retreat, if it was really as he said, he saw something that should not be seen, and the consequences would be more serious than death.
Zhou Yuanli led the team away, leaving behind smoke and dust all the way.
The defenders of the south gate were already dead, and it was a few black-clothed people who closed the city gate, and as soon as they left, a cavalry team of thirty people rushed to the door, Wei Hui glanced at the dead bodies on both sides of the city gate, and ordered.
"All dismount and change clothes!"
On the way to change clothes, Fan Cheng struggled to get up and rushed to Wei Hui, he recognized Wei Hui's appearance.
"My lord, my subordinate Fan Cheng, come to restore my life."
"Say while changing clothes!"
Fan Cheng hurriedly took off his armor from a corpse and put it on himself, and while wearing it, he reported the situation to Wei Hui.
Wang Yan listened to it on the side, and kept exchanging glances with Wei Hui.
"General Wang, God help you and me." Wei Hui smiled and glanced at the dead bodies around him, his eyes glowing with a cold light.
Tian Cewei quickly changed the clothes and armor of the palace guards, and Wei Hui and Wang Yan retreated to the team.
"Go ahead with the plan!"
..
The city gate slowly staggered a gap, and the eyes of the Tuoba generals were fixed on the city gate, and when they saw the city gate open, they all raised their swords and soldiers.
The expected Liang envoy did not appear, and out of the door was a palace guard, he staggered, and every step was extremely heavy.
For some reason, the Tuoba family general trembled and patted his horse forward, stayed in front of him, turned over and dismounted, and grabbed the pale-faced palace guard.
"Zhou.. Week.. Zhou Yuanli, coercion.. Coercion.. Hold.. Long.. Long.. Public.. Princess.." After the guard finished speaking, a mouthful of white foam erupted and fell into the arms of the Tuoba general.
The Tuoba family general was stunned, he heard the last words of the guards clearly, Zhou Yuanli held the eldest princess hostage!
No wonder I felt Zhou Yuanli weird just now, it turned out that the mysterious woman was the eldest princess, and I let him run away with the eldest princess, if Li Yuanchang knew about it, not only himself, but I was afraid that even his wife and children would be worse than dead.
Hehe! Hehe! The general of the Tuoba family smiled madly and slowly stood up and walked to the city gate step by step, walked in through the gap, and saw the corpses piled up on both sides of the city gate, bleeding from the seven orifices, and the death was extremely miserable.
"Ahh The Tuoba family roared, and anger and fear collided and exploded in their hearts.
The Tuoba general rushed out of the door like crazy and sped towards the group.
"All the soldiers obey the order! Zhou Yuanli is treasonous! Capture that traitor with me!" ”
The crazy roar of the Tuoba family exploded in everyone's ears, and his anxious appearance made everyone feel a little inexplicable, and the two lieutenants were still concerned about the Liang envoy, and they stepped forward in confusion and asked the Tuoba family general in a low voice.
"Why is the general so urgent, what happened, why did Zhou Yuanli commit treason?"
The Tuoba family general stared at the two lieutenants with red eyes, and gritted his teeth in a voice that only the three of them could hear.
"Zhou Yuanli poisoned all the South Gate defenders and many palace guards, just now. Just now that janissary told me that Zhou... Zhou Yuanli kidnapped the eldest princess! At the end of the general's speech, his voice trembled unconsciously, and the two lieutenants were completely stunned, already frightened by the content.
Holding the royal family hostage is a big crime for the three clans, but who is the eldest princess? The first beauty in Daxia, Li Yuanchang knows that she covets her, Zhou Yuanli kidnapped her, and he and others made way for him, if Li Yuanchang is to blame, he and others are commanders, and the end is unimaginably terrible.
"The whole army obeys the order! Turn the formation, the back team becomes the front team, and chase the traitor Zhou Yuanli! ”
The adjutant general burst out with unprecedented enthusiasm, inserted into the army, commanded loudly, and looked violent, under the adjustment of the three of them, the troops turned around at an unprecedented speed, and rushed towards the direction that Zhou Yuanli left.
The speed of the army's pursuit was extremely fast, and the kung fu of the tea had already run out of sight, and when the figure of the army almost disappeared from sight, Wang Yan and others went out of the city one after another, and the guards who were lying in front of the city gate and were poisoned to death also quickly got up, patted the dirt on their bodies, and got on the war horse.
"General Wang, do you want to take a gamble?" Wei Hui glanced at Wang Yan and said jokingly.
"If you're lucky today, why don't you gamble?" After Wang Yan finished speaking, he shook the reins, and the group walked in the direction of Qingping Pass.
..
The Tuoba family chased after him desperately, but he still couldn't stop Zhou Yuanli before he entered the forest sea, and after a few miles, he watched his team submerge into the forest sea, and at the moment when his figure disappeared into the forest, the Tuoba family general felt that the sky was dark in an instant, and he was dead.
"General, what now?" Deputy General Zuo asked eagerly, what he thought at this time was the same as what the Tuoba family general thought, let go of Zhou Yuanli, this is a big crime that will harm the family, he and others are generals, Li Yuanchang's thunderous anger will definitely be split on the heads of himself and others first.
"Not good! General, we've been tricked! This must be Liang Envoy's plan to divert the tiger from the mountain! The right lieutenant suddenly slapped his head and said, and his expression relaxed.
"That's right! General, this must be a ploy by the Liang envoy, we have been tricked! Vice General Zuo hurriedly agreed, and he sincerely hoped that this was Liang Envoy's ploy.
"Enough! I entered the city gate and looked, and there were at least a thousand dead people in one place, not only the defenders of the south gate, but also the palace guards! Why didn't Zhou Yuanli mention it when he came out? Because he has a demon in his heart! He killed all the people in the gates! He killed them! The Tuoba family general roared.
"General, in case the Liang envoy is only after General Zhou leaves.." With the last trace of luck, Vice General Zuo asked tentatively.
"The palace guards, the south gate guards, more than a thousand people, how many Liang envoys are there? Can be so quiet! Do you think it's possible? After the general finished speaking, the horsewhip pointed at the forest and shouted. Let me go in, and I will catch Zhou Yuanli's brute if I die! ”
The flame of hope in the hearts of the two lieutenants was ruthlessly extinguished by the Tuoba general, and the fear gradually turned into monstrous anger, and rushed into the forest with the army.
"Where are the heralds?" The general shouted, and several heralds carrying flags approached.
"Quickly send a message back to the palace, and say that Zhou Yuanli held a token and said that there was something important to do under His Majesty's instructions, and he went out of the city from the south gate, because of his sneaky deeds, the last general entered the city to check, and found that the defenders of the south gate were all killed, including the guards, I suspect that Zhou Yuanli slaughtered his compatriots and treason, and has gone to chase after him, and ask His Majesty to investigate in detail." The Tuoba family gritted his teeth and finished speaking. "Remember, according to what I said!"
"Subordinates obey." The herald clenched his fists and took the order, turned his horse's head and galloped towards Xingqing City, he was shocked by the words of the Tuoba general, the defenders of the South Gate were all killed, Zhou Yuanli killed people and committed treason, this is unbelievable, Zhou Yuanli is the general of the South Gate of the Imperial Town, and the future is immeasurable, why did he want to commit treason?
With doubts, the herald rode his horse towards Xingqing City, and returned to the south gate after half an hour, the south gate was still like that, staggering a gap, the herald entered the door through the gap, and at a glance saw the corpses piled up like a hill on both sides, and it was dark in front of him, and he almost fell off the horse, but he was asking himself in his heart, could what the general said be true! Zhou Yuanli treason and murder?
